The
AIA hosted a series of five Roundtables on Sustainable Design
from 2004 to 2006 so that national organizations could begin
working towards the goal of sustainability together. With
participants from other leading organizations, the AIA sought to
create a spirit of cooperation to advance our collective efforts in
the pursuit of sustainability.
The first four roundtables focused on a particular aspect of
sustainability and the fifth roundtable featured a summary of the
other discussions and recommendations for future actions. The
Roundtables served to develop a national agenda on sustainable
design and will culminate in a national conference on
sustainability sponsored by the AIA.
